Each participant is required
to buy a frisbee, giving every-one
an equal chance, accord-ing
to Persico. Frisbees are
$1.50 and can be purchased
by the Campus Coordinators
office. Registration fee for the
tournament is 500.
Nominations for the Home-coming
Lord and Lady are

gym at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
A bonfire on Seminary Hill
is scheduled for Thursday,
Oct. 7 at 8:30 p.m., and is a
time for singing, cider and

8, in the cafeteria will fea-ture
jugglers and costumes as
part of the decor.
At 5 p.m. Friday is the an-nual
Powder-Puff Football
game, with freshmen/sopho-more
ladies challenging the
junior/senior champions.

After a year of silence, the
radio station is bubbling with
excitement over the good news
of receiving funds for opera-tion
this year.
The main goal this year is
"to get campus radio estab-lished
as viable, co-curricular,
co-curriculum and a source of
service and ministry," said
Philip Rohler,- instructor in
sico, warming up for the Pete
Carlson concert. Tickets are
$5 in advance for couples, $3
in advance for individuals
and ,$4 at the door.

speech/communications and
supervisor of the station.
The starting place was the
decision to switch the call let-ters
from KABY to WBCS
(Bethel College and Seminary).
The reasons the call letters
were switched, according to
Linda Nylen, student manager,
were "mainly because we
wanted it to stand for some-thing,
and because changing
the call letter K to W helped in
locating us on the east side of
the Mississippi."
Although Rohler supports
and administers the budget,
the program production is the
responsibility of Linda Nylen
and three assistant managers.
This year the assistant man-agers
are Wayne Gabriel, pro-gram
manager; Pete Thiessen,
business manager; and Rod
Thauum, traffic manager. In
addition to the managers,
WBCS needs and encourages
Bethel students to be DJs,
newscasters, and writers, said
Nylen.
WBCS program content will
consist of contemporary Chris-tian
music as well as classical
and other requests from Bethel

Campus Pastor James Spick-elmier
has made some changes
in chapel this year.
Spickelmier established a
weekly theme program for
more continuity within each
week. Past years saw great
variety in music, worship
service and speakers, but the
continuity was not so obvious.
Spickelmier said that the
weekly themes for September
are devoted to "personal
growth and practical Chris-tian
living." Such topics as
witnessing to one another in
our faith and how to live
together as Christians were
heard the last week of Sep-tember
in chapel.
He said that he deliberately
seeks Bethel faculty from dif-ferent
departments to speak
in chapel. "I think it's impor-tant
for our students to occa-sionally
see faculty without a
professor's hat on," he said.
Stephen Simpson of the
business department and G.
William Carlson of history
and political science are two
such speakers this fall.
Nearly every faculty mem-ber
of the Biblical and theo-logical
studies department
will participate directly in
chapel this fall.
According to Spickelmier,
fewer chapel speakers from
outside Bethel will come here
this year. Limited finances in
addition to the desire to be
committed to weekly topics
cause the decrease.
Some outside speakers to
come are: Jill Briscoe, Chris-tian
author and speaker, Oct.
19-20; Steven Twila of Nai-robi,
Kenya, director of the
Christian graduate school
"Day Star," Oct. 18; and former
Bethel teacher of Biblical stud-ies,
Dr. Robert Mounce, now
president of Whitworth Col-lege
in Spokane, Washington,
Nov. 8.
This year the convocation
committee plans sixteen cha-pel
services devoted to en-riching
the academic experi-ence
of the student body.
These programs are not in-tended
strictly for worship
purposes.
The BSA officers will be
used more extensively this
year in chapel as worship
leaders. President Steven
Goodwin and vice-president
Steven Lemon will lead in
prayer and give announce-ments
more frequently than
past officers have.
The music department also
will play a larger roll. In addi-tion
to the contemporary, folk
and hymn music used in cha-pel,

editorial
Dear editor,
I have yet to hear anyone
refute the ethic of responsibil-ity
as it pertains to the role of
criticism in a community of
Christian believers. Moreover,
I have yet to hear the ethic
discussed as it regards the
existence of a "Beef Board."
Let me say first that I agree
with those who say we need
open criticism and free dis-agreement
to remain a healthy
community. I, too, believe
there is a strength in disagree-ment
and that we need to
learn that strength. But to
disregard our corporate re-sponsibility
as we disagree
with one another is to be dis-obedient
to the freedom with
which we have been entrusted.
Unfortunately, comments
appearing on the Beef Board
last year repeatedly crossed
this threshold and often became
wanton and defamatory attacks
on personal character and in-tegrity.
Furthermore, such at-tacks
were characteristically
unfounded and unresearched.
To allow such behavior to
continue would only invali-date
our freedom and perpe-trate
further malignity—
worse evils, to be sure, than
those currently in objection. I
contend, then, that until we
can be responsible with our
freedom to criticize and dis-agree,
the Beef Board should
either remain where it is or be
removed altogether.

Dear Editor,
If nothing else, at least hav-ing
the Beef Board encased in
glass will curtail the scrawling
of "Nixon" all over the board.
As for profanity: unfortunate-ly,
that was also a frequent oc-currence
on the old board.
I agree with Steve Good-win—
the old board was be-coming
an "eyesore" and an
"embarrassment"—at least to
those who really strive for
Bethel to become a true Chris-tian
community.

lump sum," said Marilyn Lind-man,
collections coordinator
in the business office.
That is the reason for the
new payment plan Bethel is
now offering. Under this plan,
students with a bill exceeding
$500 per term may spread
their payments out into 10
monthly installments. Unless
students enroll in a payment
play, their full bill must be
paid at the beginning of each
semester.
An application fee of $100 a
year, or $50 a semester, will
be assessed for administra-tive
expenses. Besides this
initial fee, there will be no
additional fees or interest
charges for accounts kept
current.
Interested students can pick
up the plan any time by ap-plying
through the business
office. The back payments
must be brought up to date at
the time of acceptance.
"Another advantage of this
plan," said Lindman, "is that

students. Talk shows with
various guests and possibly a
radio drama are also in the
works.
"What we want to do this
year is provide a learning ex-perience
and prove to the ad-ministration
that WBCS does
have a place in Bethel College,"
said Nylen.
In the future, Rohler and
Nylen would like to make
WBCS available to Bethel
students in the apartments
and seminary residences. Pro-gram
content may also rely
more heavily on Bethel stu-dent
resources.

choir is being considered.
The inauguration of Presi-dent
Brushaber will occur
Nov. 12 in an extended chapel
service. The king of Sweden
is expected as a guest of this
event. The king will be in the
area for the "Scandinavia To-day"
festivities.
Spickelmier said that at
least two weeks will be de-voted
to ethical issues. Sev-eral
Christian viewpoints con-cerning
abortion and human
rights will be included.
Prescribed recipes
too often route lives
Recipes. When you think about it, our lives are filled with
prescribed ways of doing things. And too often we follow
those recipes to the letter, not stopping to think of what they
are doing to us.
For instance, too often we follow the prescribed route of
elementary school, high school, and college, vocational
school or go directly to work after high school. Persons
deviating from these paths are thought of as lazy, indifferent
or confused.
Although I have to admit the prescribed route of educa-tion
to college/career appears to work for many people, why
does it have to be that way?
Why not have spent that year after college or before mar-riage
in some type of voluntary service work; or taking that
long-dreamed-of trip to Europe; or just spending time away
from peer and parental pressure to ponder what you, as an
individual being, really are.
Christianity too can become a prescribed recipe. Convic-tion,
conversion, baptism ...what then? Where does the
recipe go from there?
Are we really individuals in Christ, each with his/her own
unique flavor added to the basic batter giving infinite var-iety
to the interpretation of the person in Christ?

Volunteers sought for tutoring, autistic program
by Janet Ewing
You know what is really fun for a Friday night? I mean
really fun—the kind of activity that enriches you and height-ens
your sense of festivity?
Grocery shopping on Friday night is the ultimate.
Here's what you do. Put on your Bethel sweatshirt and your
oldest jeans and hike over to the nearest grocery store. Grab a
cart and spend the next hour or so browsing.
No really, I'm serious.
I love to grocery shop. I rarely buy more than milk, a few
cans of soup and some macaroni and cheese, but you don't
need to spend money to have fun.
Compare prices. Speculate on the different uses of pickled
carrots and canned oysters. Try to guess how many nuts there
are in a jar of dry-roasted peanuts. Calculate how many calo-ries
there are in a whole box of saltines.
We're talking festive.
Sometimes the Campus Coordinators schedule "events" for
Friday nights. I go. But I hit the grocery store first. I know that
Friday is considered a good night for dating. Not me, boy. I've
tried dating. I'd rather grocery shop.
Picture this. You're sitting in a movie with some guy and you
are positive that your deodorant has run out, you have bad
breath and you can't decide whether or not you should let this
schlep kiss you goodnight. Wouldn't you rather be cruising
down the aisles of your favorite grocery store looking for
generic chow mein noodles?
If you really want a fun grocery store you have to go into a
more urban area. That's where you find your extensive ethnic
aisles. I'm not from Minnesota. (Boo, Hiss) I'm from Illinois.
(YAHOO!!) In Illinois we have great ethnic grocery stores.
Like, where in Arden Hills, Brighton Village or Shoreview do
you find plantains, guava juice, filo, biallys, gefilte fish or lox?
Remember that feeling of power the first time you pushed
your own grocery cart? What a great experience. I remember it
well. I went grocery shopping with my dad and he let me push
the cart. I ran the cart into a display of strawberry jam.
Smashed a jar. Dad wasn't too happy. Me neither. But that
feeling of power was great while it lasted.
Grocery shopping should be a family affair. I always bring a
roommate with me. We browse. Read the ingredients on the
frozen pot pie boxes. Check out the stock boys.
.I'd have to say that Halloween and Christmas are my favor-ite
times to grocery shop. At Halloween you can wander
through piles of candy and reminisce. Christmas is great
because you can sing along with all the Christmas carols on
the radio. They also give out a lot of free samples at Christmas.
If you are really looking for a good time, go stand in the aisle
with the Mexican food and argue in Spanish with your room-mate.
If festive with a hint of deviance is the mood of the
evening, go switch the little kids sitting in the carts or add a
box of Fig Newtons and a can of sardines to every grocery cart
in the store.
Give me a Friday night, six dollars and a nearby grocery
store.
The man I marry will have to love to grocery shop. Or maybe
I'll just marry a stock boy.
Murray Magnet Middle
School consists of 7th and 8th
graders from all over St. Paul.

After times of testing, frus-tration
and excitement, the
Bethel student missionaries
have returned.
Each year the Bethel corn-munity
helps to support stu-dents
in summer mission pro-jects.
Through the efforts of
the Student Missionary Pro-ject
organization (SMP) Bethel
sent out approximately 20
students last summer.
Pam Graham, a junior, went
to Bolivia through SAM
(South American Mission).
She worked with five others
who came from several coun-tries.
While staying at a mis-sion
base they brought their
evangelistic program to one
part of Santa Cruz at a time.
The program included Bible
school classes for children,
door-to-door witnessing, and
evening services at local
churches. The group also trav-eled
through the country for
three weeks presenting sim-ilar
programs.
Graham said she developed
self-confidence because she
had to do things she had never
done before. She witnessed to
people who did not speak Eng-lish.
A Spanish tract helped
to overcome the communica-tion
barrier. Although Graham
was uncomfortable witness-ing
before large groups she
often gave her testimony
translated into Spanish by an
interpreter.
Graham described the en-thusiastic
Christians in Bo-livia.
They have a stronger
commitment because "they
have more to lose," said Gra-only
such high school program
in St. Paul which works di-rectly
with the children at
school. There are also pro-grams
for slow learners and
emotionally disturbed stu-dents.
Murray is looking for
volunteers to spend some time
with students, encouraging
them and sharing skills and
experiences.
Murray is also looking for
ham. Graham said she hopes
to return to Bolivia for further
missionary work.
Robert Lundquist, a senior,
said his experience gave him
"a foundation for being an
effective Christian witness."
Lundquist went to Indonesia
through the "Operation Timo-thy"
program.
Lundquist did support work
at several missionary bases.
He also traveled to native vil-lages,
including one that no
white person had visited, and
shared his testimony. The language
barrier forced him to commun-icate
his faith through life-style.
"Our actions need to
show that it is that we preach,"
said Lundquist.
Dwayne Nordstrom, a se-nior,
went to Voice of Calvary
,Ministries in Jackson, Missis-sippi.
VOC works to develop
the black community and to
reconcile blacks and whites in
the area. Nordstrom worked
within VOC's child evange-lism
project, one of several
ministries that combines so-cial
action with evangelism.
Nordstrom discovered that
quality mission work required
the "right attitude." If one ap-proached
a group of people
saying, "I am going to serve
you," one placed himself at a
higher level than the people.
Nordstrom realized that he
needed to approach people
with the attutude that he had
something to learn from them.
Dave Carlson, a junior, went
to Honduras with an Inter-
Varsity Overseas Training
Camp. The program focused
on cross-cultural issues. Carl-son
spent half the time with a
helpers for its swimming pro-gram,
orchestra and bank pro-gram,
and physical education.
Assistants are needed for
science and math classes too,
as well as for field and camp-ing
trips.

native family in the city and
the other half with a mission-ary
family in the country.
Carlson became aware of
the complexity of political is-sues
in Central America. Re-garding
the.se issues he learn-ed
the necessity of critical
thinking.
Carlson was constantly
faced with the issue of mat-erial
possession. Upon return-ing,
he thought he might be
less materialistic. But in a
culture of abundance, he said,
"The world is still squeezing
me into its mold."
Stephanie Frank, a junior,
worked at a Mosquito Indian
refugee camp in Honduras
sponsored by World Relief.
She was in charge of the staff
food system and did book-keeping
and odd jobs.
As a relief worker, Frank
tested her missionary poten-tial.
Before she left, mission
work was a "definite possibil-ity."
Returning, Frank said, "I
would like to do missionary
work," adding that she would
like to work in a Spanish
culture.
Frank enjoyed the slower-paced
and simple Honduran
lifestyle. She got up with the
sun and went to bed soon
after sunset. She realized, "I
can get by with a lot less than
I have." She also found it hard
to readjust to a stressful, time-pressured
society. "Coming
hack you have to adjust to the
evils of civilization," she said.

A UMAIE study tour of
Hawaii's cultural history will

A goal of the course is to

Students study geography and
geology, discuss the history
and culture of the Hawaiian
Islands, and look at American
involvement in Hawaii. The
group strives to understand
native Hawaiians who en-counter

Bethel Republicans to help
in fall campaign
by Robin Leone
The Red Cross Bloodmobile
is coming to Bethel on Friday,
Oct. 15. It will be on campus
from 9-3 in the gym.
At least 300 people are need-ed
to donate one unit of blood,
which is a little less than a
pint. Sign-up sheets will be
posted down by the POs.
"Things run smoother if you
sign up, but don't feel you
need an appointment to do-nate,"
Laurie Lindahl, a third-year
blood drive coordinator,
stresses. "And donating should
only take 20 minutes of your
time."
To qualify, donors must be
in good health, and weigh at
least 110 lbs. They also need
to eat within a few hours
prior to coming in.
Approximately 100 people

The psychology department
gives freshmen and sopho-mores
the opportunity to an-swer
these questions through
two tests: the MMPI and the
SCII.
The Minnesota Multi-
Phasic Personality Inventory
(MMPI) is designed to test
characteristics of one's per-sonality
on a variety of di-mensions,
according to Steve
McNeel, professor in psychol-ogy
and director of evalua-tion
and testing. The Strong-
Campbell Interest Inventory
(SCII) depicts the person's in-terest
patterns and is used
mainly to determine vocation-al
interests.
"Both tests were developed
to give people an opportunity
to look at themselves," Mc-
Neel explained. "They provide
an objective profile."
are needed for service work
such as aiding donors, pre-paring
blood bags, and typ-ing.
The donated blood is taken
back to the Red Cross in St.
Paul, where it is tested and
divided into components.
Then it is given to one of 160
hospitals within five regional
states.
According to Larry Pittel-kow,
a registered nurse at the
Red Cross in St. Paul, the
blood is commonly divided
into three components of red
cells, plasma, and platelets.
Each of these components is
used for a variety of purposes.
For example, the red cells can
be used for transfusions, plas-ma
serves as a clotting factor,
and platelets can be used in
treatment of cancer and leu-kemia.
The MMPI was originally
designed in the 1940's by a
group of researchers in Min-nesota
for the clinical popula-tion,
particularly in hospitals.
Now it is mainly used in
schools. Two researchers
named Strong and Campbell
devised the SCII. Revisions
on both tests keep them up-to-
date.
"The tests are not manda-tory
but strongly recommend-ed.
They are a resource for the
students," McNeel pointed
out. Although test sessions
are now completed for fresh-men
and sophomores, the tests
are still available to take by
appointment with Kathy Ma-thias.
Upperclassmen may
take them too.
As an important part of the
testing process, six faculty
from the psychology depart-ment
will interpret the tests
at the student's request. Elim-inating
the interpretation step
defeats the test's purpose,
stressed McNeel. Dave Ander-son,

For Bethel's College Repub-licans
election year is more
than a passing fancy. Not only
is hard work involved, but it
requires an understanding of
our political system. The Col-lege
Republicans volunteer
their time to the campaigns of
Dave Durenburger, U.S. Sena-tor,
and Gary Westland, can-didate
for District 50-B.
On Sept. 21, Connie Hope,
sophomore, was elected pres-ident
of the club, and Barry
Ahlsten, freshman, was elec-ted
vice president. A secretary-treasurer
will be selected soon.
Art Lewis, professor in Bibli-cal
and theological studies,
will advise the College Re-publicans
this year.
The two-year-old organiza-tion
has one member as a
state officer, sophomore Sally
Clark. Clark was elected state
treasurer of the Minnesota
College Republicans.
will interpret the MMPI.
Kathy Mathias will interpret
the SCII.
The results of the MMPI
and the SCII return in about
three weeks. Students will be
notified through the Bethel
Bulletin.
Activities planned this year
include setting up a booth at
Bethel's Opportunity Fair, at-tending
the College Republi-can
convention, and coordi-nating
political discussions.
The main concern for this fall
is the campaigns. Hope plans
to have a support group work-ing
for Wheelock Whitney's
gubernatorial campaign.
Last year the group heard
Barry Goldwater, Gerald Ford,
and Ronald Reagan speak at
various convocations and
rallies.
"We would also like to co-sponsor
area candidate de-bates
with the College Demo-crats,"
said Hope.
Issue-oriented discussions
are held every other Tuesday
for College Republicans. The
discussions allow students to
wrestle with personal politi-cal
beliefs.
On Oct. 17 the club will be
part of an attempt to enter the
Guinness Book of World Rec-ords.
Republican candidates
will meet in downtown St.
Paul to gain publicity by try-ing
to break the hand-shaking
record.
College Republicans receive
no aid from Bethel, but spon-sor
several fund-raising
events to defray costs of send-ing
delegates to the state
convention.

This year's College Demo-crats
hope to serve as a re-source
organization for Bethel
students, according to chair-man
Dave Pikal.
As the only member of Col-lege
Democrats from last year,
Pikal accepted leadership re-sponsibilities
until other stu-dents
become involved. John
Lawyer, political science pro-fessor,
is the group's main
advisor.
College Democrats want to
supply information about can-didates
and issues. They also
want to encourage voting.
According to Pikal, one of
their main goals is to get stu-dents
involved in some politi-cal
organization, though not
necessarily the Democratic
party. "College Democrats are
the other side of the coin,"
commented Pikal.
Students politically involv-ed
in their home districts can
become part of local cam-paigns
under the direction of
College Democrats. "Student
aid cutbacks is one issue for
which a reactionary group is
being formed," stated Pikal.
"This will give students a
chance to make a difference."
Plans for this year include
bringing candidates to meet
with students informally and
in classes. The College Demo-crats
hope to select students to
represent candidates as well.
Plans are also underway in
preparation for the caucuses
and November elections. The
Bethel group plans to integrate
its efforts with those of other
colleges.

Anderson gains insights in Nicaragua fficarryi
TN'
Tony Anderson found Nicaragua to be a country of contrasts, and is
not satisfied with the U.S. policy there. Velie/photo
by Jerry Manus
The controversial Central
American country of Nicara-gua
was visited this summer
by a group of twenty Ameri-cans,
one of them a Bethel
graduate.
Tony Anderson, who grad-uated
in May of this year, had
been intrigued by Nicaragua
since the July 1980 coup which
ousted the Somoza govern-ment.
Though Anderson had
been in favor of the revolu-tion,
he had since heard re-ports
by the American press
that the fledgling government
was heavily repressive and
militaristic. Because most of
those claims were later shown
to be false, Anderson decided
that he should see for himself
rather than depend on the
press.
Anderson said, "After hear-ing
the claims of the Reagan
administration, I was prepar-ed
to see tanks in the street
and machine-gun installations
on every corner. I found
neither."
What Anderson did find,
however, was a people in the
midst of a severe economic
struggle. Nicaragua had in-herited
from Somoza the
greatest per-capita national
debt in all of Latin America.
The situation was greatly in-tensified
as the result of recent
flooding, which left 70,000
people homeless, and destroy-ed
most of the country's crops
on which the economy de-pends
heavily.
Anderson said that one im-portant
change that has occur-red
since the revolution is the
legalization of labor unions,
which were outlawed under
Somoza. Now several unions
are active, including both
government and private
unions.
Anderson attended four dif-ferent
religious services while
in Nicaragua, and found that
the poorer churches he visited
tended to be more outwardly
supportive of the revolution
than the more wealthy ones.
The services of the poorer
people emphasized the need
for Christ's followers to work
for justice.
Anderson said he was sur-prised
to find that though the
poorer churches were more
politically progressive than
the wealthier churches, they
were very conservative and
orthodox theologically.
Another important change
reported by Anderson is the
cultural revolution. "Somoza
had suppressed anything that
would give expression and
life to the people," Anderson
said. Now there is a Ministry
of Culture, with the purpose
of restoring the people's native
cultural expressions, as well
as exposing them to the best
of culture from around the
world. The American visitors
attended a ballet at the na-tional
auditorium which was
performed by a Cuban team.
It was toward the end of
their stay, after having found
the claims of the Reagan ad-ministration
of repression in
Nicaragua to be groundless,
that the visitors went to the
American embassy and talked
with a P.R. official there. They
questioned him as to why the
U.S. government maintained
its position on grounds that
were obviously false. Ander-son
said the official tried to be
agreeable with them, but main-tained
that the Nicaraguan
government was shipping wea-pons
to Salvadoran guerillas,
though he could not release
the sources. The other main
point mentioned was that
power in Nicaragua was "still
only in the hands of a few,"
and that it was a Marxist-
Lenninist state. The Ameri-can
visitors were not satis-fied
with that explanation of
their country's policy.
The story of the Nicaraguan
revolution is unique from that
of most revolutions, in that
the death penalty was abol-ished
from the beginning.
There also appears to be in-creasing
power going to the
people themselves, with no
sign that a repressive dictator
will arise. But Anderson says
he cannot be optimistic con-cerning
the future of the
nation's economy, especially
considering that the U.S. has
made it virtually impossible
for Nicaragua to obtain inter-national
loans.
This paper advocates a design
that would take one step in
improving this situation:
by Donald N. Larson
Forgiveness. We've all experienced it. Our relatives and
friends have forgiven us. God has forgiven us. What wonder-ful
experience, having done something awful, to hear those
words, "That's O.K. I forgive you."
If it is true that 75% of the student body violates the BLST
(Bethel Lifestyle Statement) weekly, consider what happens
when, let us say, 50% of these ask forgiveness. What grace is
theirs! What joy comes to more than 800 students each week!
Complaining students should stop to consider what the
administration has done for them. They should be grateful for
BLST: it leads to the joy of forgiveness.
But it's a unilateral blessing! The administration has no
similar source of grace for themselves. It is deprived of the job
of forgiveness and will continue in this state of deprivation
until its own waywardness is brought into sharper focus.
It should be noted at this point that the BLST which the
administration has formulated for the students—call it Proto-
BLST—is easy for the administration to live by, and that is
precisely why it does not induce conditions for forgiveness. So
the administration needs a statement—Deutero-BLST—which
will get at some of the behaviors which do induce such
conditions.
This means, of course, that students are in the best position
to develop Deutero-BLST for the administration. They would
identify those behaviors of administrators which they find
reprehensible and formulate standards accordingly. Faced
with the Deutero-BLST, administrators would now be able to
find the grace and joy of forgiveness when the standards were
violated.
What would such standards be? I don't know—not being a
student here. However, in listening to students evaluate admin-istrative
behavior, I'm confident that the contents of Deutero-
BLST would be sufficient and sufficiently clear to generate
plenty of joy via forgiveness.
No doubt it would be as easy for students to live by the
Deutero-BLST and the administration by the Proto-BLST, and
this would provide a much more balanced situation that we
have at present. And it would have a distinctly Christian
component: one brother or sister being strong at the very point
that the other was weak.
I suggest that such a plan would be a significant step for-ward
and a fine way to start a new academic year. What would
be more appropriate as a way to symbolize a new regime?

Clark paces XC team at River Falls
by Wendy Norberg
The Bethel men's cross coun-try
team came away from last
weekend's River Falls Invita-tional
with an impressive third-place
finish and some out-standing
individual perfor-mances.
Mankato State won the
meet with 25 points, followed
by Stevens Point, Wisconsin,
with 57, and the Royals with
88. River Falls, St. Thomas,
Golden Valley Lutheran, Mac-alester,
and Winona State
were fourth through eighth
respectively.
The tough 8-kilometer
course proved no obstacle for
football, from page 8
drives that were closing in on
the end zone. The Auggies
also had other chances to add
to their point total, but two
field goal attempts were wide
of the mark.

successful field goal attempt,

Under very soggy condi-tions
the Bethel junior varsity
soccer squad was defeated by
the St. Scholastica Saints 2-1
Saturday.
Freshman Andy Gilbert
scored a goal in the first half
with the assistance of fresh-man
Judd Halverson and soph-omore
Doug Weincoff, mak-ing
the score at the end of the
first half 1-0. But the Saints
came back in the second half
with two Opals which forced
the Royals to add pressure to
their opponents in the fifteen
minutes remaining in the
game.

imposing hills in the final two-mile
stretch. John Clark led
the squad, taking third place
overall in 26:10. Said Coach
Whittaker, "John improved
almost a minute over last week
and he was within striking
distance of the first runner for
most of the race."

improvement" according

had a first down on the Bethel
2-yard line. But the Bethel
defense rose to the occasion

"Many of the guys played
their best game ever," Bohne
commented. Halverson and
sophomore Steve Hunt put in
a lot of extra effort.
Junior Steve Baumann said,
"I felt this was one of the best,
if not the best game we've
played, considering they were
a varsity team."
"IV soccer squad is the most
underrated sports team at

30th, and Matt Simpson, 38th,
rounded out the Royal runners.
The rest of the team stayed
in town to compete against
seven other teams at nearby
Northwestern College. They
also ran well and captured
third place. Wayne Ebeling
was the top Royal, taking 9th
place, followed by teammate
Shawn Goodsell in 10th.

of the home crowd, which
urged them on with each play.
Augsburg, though, in par-ticular
running back Hugh
Weathers, was not to be de-nied.
After picking up good
yardage in the fourth quarter,
Weathers banged through
from five yards out with a lit-tle
under nine minutes to go in
the game. A successful 2-point
conversion gave Augsburg an
11-7 lead.
The Auggies upped their
lead to 13-7 later in the quar-ter
when they dropped run-ning
back Satch Shaheed in
the end zone for a 2-point
safety, one play after Doten
was injured and had to be
carried off the field.
"It's getting better," said
Doten the next day, referring
to his right knee, which came
in contact with an Augsburg
helmet. "I should be able to
play by next week."
Doten received pressure
from the Augsburg defense
throughout most of the game,
and often had to throw the
ball earlier than he would
have liked.
The Royals will continue
their quest for a tally in the
win column when they travel
to Northfield on Saturday,
Oct. 2 to play St. Olaf.

Three Bethel women set
personal records and one a
school record as the women's
cross-country team finished
sixth out of ten teams in the
Mankato State Invitational
on Sept. 25.
Linda Channer set the new
school record with a personal
best of 17:55 for the five-kilometer
course. Her time was
good enough for fourth place
just ahead of Wendy Norberg,
who ran a personal . best of
18:03. The previous school
record was 18:59, set at last
year's state meet by Norberg.
Leah Schirm was the third
Bethel runner to finish and
also set a personal record of
20:21. She finished 53rd
overall.
Bethel scoring was com-pleted
by Debbie Hernandez
(70th) and Rochelle Kaehne
(73rd).
"That was the easiest course
we'll run all year, but I think
the girls can run the same
kind of times on tougher
courses later in the season,"
said Coach Lau. "I was very
happy with the performance
of the team at this meet."
On Saturday, Oct. 2 the
Royals will travel to North-field
to run in the St. Olaf
Invitational.

Slowly but surely Bethel
volleyball coach Cindy Book
has been putting together the
right pieces and has tuned her
squad into a fairly smooth-running
machine as the wom-en
won three of five matches
during the week.
"Everytime we play we're
getting better and better," said
Book of her players' improve-ment.
The improvement was evi-dent
when the Royals tra-veled
to Winona on Sept. 22 to
play St. Mary's. It took only
three games for Bethel to win
its conference opener.
On Sept. 25 Bethel partici-pated
in the Macalester Invi-tational
and came away with
a second place finish, winning
two matches while dropping
a pair.
Bethel opened with a 16-14,
15-11 win before falling to
tourney champion Macales-ter
0-15 ("It was like someone
turned a switch and nothing
happened") and 11-15.
The Royals rallied back
from the Mac loss to defeat
Carleton 15-11, 15-12 and then
lost a heartbreaker to Dr. Mar-tin
Luther College 15-10, 16-18
and 14-16. Bethel held a 11-1
lead in the final game only to
let the advantage and the
match slip away.
"It was a little discourag-ing,"
said Coach Book of the
third game with DMLC. "We
should have finished it off."
Despite the loss in the final
match of the tourney Book
was encouraged by the im-provement
in areas that pre-viously
had been the Royals'
downfall.
"The play was drastically
better all around," she said.
by Todd Erickson
Sophomore running back
Mike Fregeau took the screen
pass from freshman quarter-back
Rhett Bonner, turned to
seek the goal line, and dashed
five yards into the end zone
for the touchdown that gave
Bethel a 13-13 tie with Augs-burg.
Both teams lined up for
the all-important extra point
that would give the Royal
gridders their first victory of
the regular season.
It was blocked.
That was how the Sept. 25
battle between the two teams
ended, as Bethel's record drop-
"We're digging up blocked
balls that we weren't getting
before."
Book was pleased with the
play of her two setters Gracia
Dahlgren and Katy Rott and
hitters Pam Madsen and Pat
Jones as they teamed up on
the offense.
The Bethel junior varsity
began play during the week
and won two of three match-es.
The JV won its season
opener at St. Mary's in two
games and split at the Mac In-vite,
defeating Macalester in
four and falling to Careleton
in five games.
The Royals have three
matches this week, traveling
to DMLC on Saturday, Oct. 2
and to Macalester to play the
Scots on Monday at 6:30 p.m.
On Wednesday, Oct. 6 Bethel
plays Hamline at home start-ing
at 6:30 p. m.
ped to 0-2-1, the same as
Augsburg's regular season
record.
Fregeau's second touch-down
of the 'game came with
47 seconds left in the game to
highlight a Bethel comeback
that found the Royals in the
position of catching up instead
of protecting a diminishing
lead, as has been the case the
past two games. Unfortunate-ly,
the Royals could not turn
their comeback into a victory
as a horde of Auggies broke
through the line to block the
extra point attempt.
Each team had a chance to
pull the game out in the clos-ing
seconds. Augsburg tried a
field goal with ten seconds
remaining, but the attempt
sailed wide of the goalposts.
Bethel regained possession
and tried a "Hail Mary" pass
In the final seconds. Bonner
lofted the ball' to the Augs-burg
40-yard line, where wide
receiver Bryan Johnson caught
the ball off the hands of two
Augsburg defenders but was
tripped up by a third defender,
ending hopes of a miracle
touchdown for Bethel.
Interceptions seemed to be
very bountiful throughout the
game, with the Royals pick-ing
off five passes while Augs-burg
had three aerial thefts.

The starting place was the
decision to switch the call let-ters
from KABY to WBCS
(Bethel College and Seminary).
The reasons the call letters
were switched, according to
Linda Nylen, student manager,
were "mainly because we
wanted it to stand for some-thing,
and because changing
the call letter K to W helped in
locating us on the east side of
the Mississippi."
Although Rohler supports
and administers the budget,
the program production is the
responsibility of Linda Nylen
and three assistant managers.
This year the assistant man-agers
are Wayne Gabriel, pro-gram
manager; Pete Thiessen,
business manager; and Rod
Thauum, traffic manager. In
addition to the managers,
WBCS needs and encourages
Bethel students to be DJs,
newscasters, and writers, said
Nylen.

Campus Pastor James Spick-elmier
has made some changes
in chapel this year.
Spickelmier established a
weekly theme program for
more continuity within each
week. Past years saw great
variety in music, worship
service and speakers, but the
continuity was not so obvious.
Spickelmier said that the
weekly themes for September
are devoted to "personal
growth and practical Chris-tian
living." Such topics as
witnessing to one another in
our faith and how to live
together as Christians were
heard the last week of Sep-tember
in chapel.
He said that he deliberately
seeks Bethel faculty from dif-ferent
departments to speak
in chapel. "I think it's impor-tant
for our students to occa-sionally
see faculty without a
professor's hat on," he said.
Stephen Simpson of the
business department and G.
William Carlson of history
and political science are two
such speakers this fall.
Nearly every faculty mem-ber
of the Biblical and theo-logical
studies department
will participate directly in
chapel this fall.
According to Spickelmier,
fewer chapel speakers from
outside Bethel will come here
this year. Limited finances in
addition to the desire to be
committed to weekly topics
cause the decrease.
Some outside speakers to
come are: Jill Briscoe, Chris-tian
author and speaker, Oct.
19-20; Steven Twila of Nai-robi,
Kenya, director of the
Christian graduate school
"Day Star," Oct. 18; and former
Bethel teacher of Biblical stud-ies,
Dr. Robert Mounce, now
president of Whitworth Col-lege
in Spokane, Washington,
Nov. 8.
This year the convocation
committee plans sixteen cha-pel
services devoted to en-riching
the academic experi-ence
of the student body.
These programs are not in-tended
strictly for worship
purposes.
The BSA officers will be
used more extensively this
year in chapel as worship
leaders. President Steven
Goodwin and vice-president
Steven Lemon will lead in
prayer and give announce-ments
more frequently than
past officers have.
The music department also
will play a larger roll. In addi-tion
to the contemporary, folk
and hymn music used in cha-pel,

editorial
Dear editor,
I have yet to hear anyone
refute the ethic of responsibil-ity
as it pertains to the role of
criticism in a community of
Christian believers. Moreover,
I have yet to hear the ethic
discussed as it regards the
existence of a "Beef Board."
Let me say first that I agree
with those who say we need
open criticism and free dis-agreement
to remain a healthy
community. I, too, believe
there is a strength in disagree-ment
and that we need to
learn that strength. But to
disregard our corporate re-sponsibility
as we disagree
with one another is to be dis-obedient
to the freedom with
which we have been entrusted.
Unfortunately, comments
appearing on the Beef Board
last year repeatedly crossed
this threshold and often became
wanton and defamatory attacks
on personal character and in-tegrity.
Furthermore, such at-tacks
were characteristically
unfounded and unresearched.
To allow such behavior to
continue would only invali-date
our freedom and perpe-trate
further malignity—
worse evils, to be sure, than
those currently in objection. I
contend, then, that until we
can be responsible with our
freedom to criticize and dis-agree,
the Beef Board should
either remain where it is or be
removed altogether.

Dear Editor,
If nothing else, at least hav-ing
the Beef Board encased in
glass will curtail the scrawling
of "Nixon" all over the board.
As for profanity: unfortunate-ly,
that was also a frequent oc-currence
on the old board.
I agree with Steve Good-win—
the old board was be-coming
an "eyesore" and an
"embarrassment"—at least to
those who really strive for
Bethel to become a true Chris-tian
community.

lump sum," said Marilyn Lind-man,
collections coordinator
in the business office.
That is the reason for the
new payment plan Bethel is
now offering. Under this plan,
students with a bill exceeding
$500 per term may spread
their payments out into 10
monthly installments. Unless
students enroll in a payment
play, their full bill must be
paid at the beginning of each
semester.
An application fee of $100 a
year, or $50 a semester, will
be assessed for administra-tive
expenses. Besides this
initial fee, there will be no
additional fees or interest
charges for accounts kept
current.
Interested students can pick
up the plan any time by ap-plying
through the business
office. The back payments
must be brought up to date at
the time of acceptance.
"Another advantage of this
plan," said Lindman, "is that

students. Talk shows with
various guests and possibly a
radio drama are also in the
works.
"What we want to do this
year is provide a learning ex-perience
and prove to the ad-ministration
that WBCS does
have a place in Bethel College,"
said Nylen.
In the future, Rohler and
Nylen would like to make
WBCS available to Bethel
students in the apartments
and seminary residences. Pro-gram

more heavily on Bethel stu-dent
resources.

The inauguration of Presi-dent
Brushaber will occur
Nov. 12 in an extended chapel
service. The king of Sweden
is expected as a guest of this
event. The king will be in the
area for the "Scandinavia To-day"
festivities.
Spickelmier said that at
least two weeks will be de-voted
to ethical issues. Sev-eral
Christian viewpoints con-cerning
abortion and human
rights will be included.
Prescribed recipes
too often route lives
Recipes. When you think about it, our lives are filled with
prescribed ways of doing things. And too often we follow
those recipes to the letter, not stopping to think of what they
are doing to us.
For instance, too often we follow the prescribed route of
elementary school, high school, and college, vocational
school or go directly to work after high school. Persons
deviating from these paths are thought of as lazy, indifferent
or confused.
Although I have to admit the prescribed route of educa-tion
to college/career appears to work for many people, why
does it have to be that way?
Why not have spent that year after college or before mar-riage
in some type of voluntary service work; or taking that
long-dreamed-of trip to Europe; or just spending time away
from peer and parental pressure to ponder what you, as an
individual being, really are.
Christianity too can become a prescribed recipe. Convic-tion,
conversion, baptism ...what then? Where does the
recipe go from there?
Are we really individuals in Christ, each with his/her own
unique flavor added to the basic batter giving infinite var-iety
to the interpretation of the person in Christ?

Volunteers sought for tutoring, autistic program
by Janet Ewing
You know what is really fun for a Friday night? I mean
really fun—the kind of activity that enriches you and height-ens
your sense of festivity?
Grocery shopping on Friday night is the ultimate.
Here's what you do. Put on your Bethel sweatshirt and your
oldest jeans and hike over to the nearest grocery store. Grab a
cart and spend the next hour or so browsing.
No really, I'm serious.
I love to grocery shop. I rarely buy more than milk, a few
cans of soup and some macaroni and cheese, but you don't
need to spend money to have fun.
Compare prices. Speculate on the different uses of pickled
carrots and canned oysters. Try to guess how many nuts there
are in a jar of dry-roasted peanuts. Calculate how many calo-ries
there are in a whole box of saltines.
We're talking festive.
Sometimes the Campus Coordinators schedule "events" for
Friday nights. I go. But I hit the grocery store first. I know that
Friday is considered a good night for dating. Not me, boy. I've
tried dating. I'd rather grocery shop.
Picture this. You're sitting in a movie with some guy and you
are positive that your deodorant has run out, you have bad
breath and you can't decide whether or not you should let this
schlep kiss you goodnight. Wouldn't you rather be cruising
down the aisles of your favorite grocery store looking for
generic chow mein noodles?
If you really want a fun grocery store you have to go into a
more urban area. That's where you find your extensive ethnic
aisles. I'm not from Minnesota. (Boo, Hiss) I'm from Illinois.
(YAHOO!!) In Illinois we have great ethnic grocery stores.
Like, where in Arden Hills, Brighton Village or Shoreview do
you find plantains, guava juice, filo, biallys, gefilte fish or lox?
Remember that feeling of power the first time you pushed
your own grocery cart? What a great experience. I remember it
well. I went grocery shopping with my dad and he let me push
the cart. I ran the cart into a display of strawberry jam.
Smashed a jar. Dad wasn't too happy. Me neither. But that
feeling of power was great while it lasted.
Grocery shopping should be a family affair. I always bring a
roommate with me. We browse. Read the ingredients on the
frozen pot pie boxes. Check out the stock boys.
.I'd have to say that Halloween and Christmas are my favor-ite
times to grocery shop. At Halloween you can wander
through piles of candy and reminisce. Christmas is great
because you can sing along with all the Christmas carols on
the radio. They also give out a lot of free samples at Christmas.
If you are really looking for a good time, go stand in the aisle
with the Mexican food and argue in Spanish with your room-mate.
If festive with a hint of deviance is the mood of the
evening, go switch the little kids sitting in the carts or add a
box of Fig Newtons and a can of sardines to every grocery cart
in the store.
Give me a Friday night, six dollars and a nearby grocery
store.
The man I marry will have to love to grocery shop. Or maybe
I'll just marry a stock boy.
Murray Magnet Middle
School consists of 7th and 8th
graders from all over St. Paul.

means it attracts pupils from

tutoring and autism programs,

After times of testing, frus-tration
and excitement, the
Bethel student missionaries
have returned.
Each year the Bethel corn-munity
helps to support stu-dents
in summer mission pro-jects.
Through the efforts of
the Student Missionary Pro-ject
organization (SMP) Bethel
sent out approximately 20
students last summer.
Pam Graham, a junior, went
to Bolivia through SAM
(South American Mission).
She worked with five others
who came from several coun-tries.
While staying at a mis-sion
base they brought their
evangelistic program to one
part of Santa Cruz at a time.
The program included Bible
school classes for children,
door-to-door witnessing, and
evening services at local
churches. The group also trav-eled
through the country for
three weeks presenting sim-ilar
programs.
Graham said she developed
self-confidence because she
had to do things she had never
done before. She witnessed to
people who did not speak Eng-lish.
A Spanish tract helped
to overcome the communica-tion
barrier. Although Graham
was uncomfortable witness-ing
before large groups she
often gave her testimony
translated into Spanish by an
interpreter.
Graham described the en-thusiastic
Christians in Bo-livia.
They have a stronger
commitment because "they
have more to lose," said Gra-only
such high school program
in St. Paul which works di-rectly
with the children at
school. There are also pro-grams
for slow learners and
emotionally disturbed stu-dents.
Murray is looking for
volunteers to spend some time
with students, encouraging
them and sharing skills and
experiences.
Murray is also looking for
ham. Graham said she hopes
to return to Bolivia for further
missionary work.
Robert Lundquist, a senior,
said his experience gave him
"a foundation for being an
effective Christian witness."
Lundquist went to Indonesia
through the "Operation Timo-thy"
program.
Lundquist did support work
at several missionary bases.
He also traveled to native vil-lages,
including one that no
white person had visited, and
shared his testimony. The language
barrier forced him to commun-icate
his faith through life-style.
"Our actions need to
show that it is that we preach,"
said Lundquist.
Dwayne Nordstrom, a se-nior,
went to Voice of Calvary
,Ministries in Jackson, Missis-sippi.
VOC works to develop
the black community and to
reconcile blacks and whites in
the area. Nordstrom worked
within VOC's child evange-lism
project, one of several
ministries that combines so-cial
action with evangelism.
Nordstrom discovered that
quality mission work required
the "right attitude." If one ap-proached
a group of people
saying, "I am going to serve
you," one placed himself at a
higher level than the people.
Nordstrom realized that he
needed to approach people
with the attutude that he had
something to learn from them.
Dave Carlson, a junior, went
to Honduras with an Inter-
Varsity Overseas Training
Camp. The program focused
on cross-cultural issues. Carl-son
spent half the time with a
helpers for its swimming pro-gram,
orchestra and bank pro-gram,
and physical education.
Assistants are needed for
science and math classes too,
as well as for field and camp-ing
trips.

about opportunities

native family in the city and
the other half with a mission-ary
family in the country.
Carlson became aware of
the complexity of political is-sues
in Central America. Re-garding
the.se issues he learn-ed
the necessity of critical
thinking.
Carlson was constantly
faced with the issue of mat-erial
possession. Upon return-ing,
he thought he might be
less materialistic. But in a
culture of abundance, he said,
"The world is still squeezing
me into its mold."
Stephanie Frank, a junior,
worked at a Mosquito Indian
refugee camp in Honduras
sponsored by World Relief.
She was in charge of the staff
food system and did book-keeping
and odd jobs.
As a relief worker, Frank
tested her missionary poten-tial.
Before she left, mission
work was a "definite possibil-ity."
Returning, Frank said, "I
would like to do missionary
work," adding that she would
like to work in a Spanish
culture.
Frank enjoyed the slower-paced
and simple Honduran
lifestyle. She got up with the
sun and went to bed soon
after sunset. She realized, "I
can get by with a lot less than
I have." She also found it hard
to readjust to a stressful, time-pressured
society. "Coming
hack you have to adjust to the
evils of civilization," she said.

To begin the first phase of
construction for the proposed

needed. Funds need to be
raised before spring to allow
construction to begin in April.
Proposed completion is slated
for late September or early Oc-tober

At the Board of Regents
meeting last week, the execu-tive
committee authorized
drafting of bid documents.
These documents will allow
much like CBs. They can only
be used in about a ten-mile
radius. Bethel spent $1560 on
the two bus communications.
This investment was made
because of the winter bus
break-down problem. With
the bus communications the
drivers can stay right in the
bus and get help.

A UMAIE study tour of
Hawaii's cultural history will
be led by James Johnson, pro-fessor
in history.
A goal of the course is to
present "a multi-faceted view
of Hawaii," said Johnson.
Students study geography and
geology, discuss the history
and culture of the Hawaiian
Islands, and look at American
involvement in Hawaii. The
group strives to understand
native Hawaiians who en-counter
difficulties similar to
those of native American In-dians,

Bethel employees will par-ticipate
in the annual United
Way campaign drive Oct. 1-
15, according to Gerry Wess-man,
assistant to the vice
president in public affairs.
The goal for the two-week
fund drive is $7,845. Involve-ment
of the entire administra-tion,
faculty and staff will be
encouraged in order to meet
the goal. Last year's pledges
totalled $7,188, which slightly
topped the aim at that time.
"The campaign is a matter
of community involvement
and outreach," said Wessman,
organizer of this year's effort.
"It reflects Bethel's support of
community and human ser-vices,
and ties in with our
idea of mission."
Employees will be divided
into 22 groups, and volunteer
captains will be appointed for
each team. Each captain will
help to distribute pledge cards

Bethel Republicans to help
in fall campaign
by Robin Leone
The Red Cross Bloodmobile
is coming to Bethel on Friday,
Oct. 15. It will be on campus
from 9-3 in the gym.
At least 300 people are need-ed
to donate one unit of blood,
which is a little less than a
pint. Sign-up sheets will be
posted down by the POs.
"Things run smoother if you
sign up, but don't feel you
need an appointment to do-nate,"
Laurie Lindahl, a third-year
blood drive coordinator,
stresses. "And donating should
only take 20 minutes of your
time."
To qualify, donors must be
in good health, and weigh at
least 110 lbs. They also need
to eat within a few hours
prior to coming in.
Approximately 100 people

The psychology department
gives freshmen and sopho-mores
the opportunity to an-swer
these questions through
two tests: the MMPI and the
SCII.
The Minnesota Multi-
Phasic Personality Inventory
(MMPI) is designed to test
characteristics of one's per-sonality
on a variety of di-mensions,
according to Steve
McNeel, professor in psychol-ogy
and director of evalua-tion
and testing. The Strong-
Campbell Interest Inventory
(SCII) depicts the person's in-terest
patterns and is used
mainly to determine vocation-al
interests.
"Both tests were developed
to give people an opportunity
to look at themselves," Mc-
Neel explained. "They provide
an objective profile."
are needed for service work
such as aiding donors, pre-paring
blood bags, and typ-ing.
The donated blood is taken
back to the Red Cross in St.
Paul, where it is tested and
divided into components.
Then it is given to one of 160
hospitals within five regional
states.
According to Larry Pittel-kow,
a registered nurse at the
Red Cross in St. Paul, the
blood is commonly divided
into three components of red
cells, plasma, and platelets.
Each of these components is
used for a variety of purposes.
For example, the red cells can
be used for transfusions, plas-ma
serves as a clotting factor,
and platelets can be used in
treatment of cancer and leu-kemia.
The MMPI was originally
designed in the 1940's by a
group of researchers in Min-nesota
for the clinical popula-tion,
particularly in hospitals.
Now it is mainly used in
schools. Two researchers
named Strong and Campbell
devised the SCII. Revisions
on both tests keep them up-to-
date.
"The tests are not manda-tory
but strongly recommend-ed.
They are a resource for the
students," McNeel pointed
out. Although test sessions
are now completed for fresh-men
and sophomores, the tests
are still available to take by
appointment with Kathy Ma-thias.
Upperclassmen may
take them too.
As an important part of the
testing process, six faculty
from the psychology depart-ment
will interpret the tests
at the student's request. Elim-inating
the interpretation step
defeats the test's purpose,
stressed McNeel. Dave Ander-son,

For Bethel's College Repub-licans
election year is more
than a passing fancy. Not only
is hard work involved, but it
requires an understanding of
our political system. The Col-lege
Republicans volunteer
their time to the campaigns of
Dave Durenburger, U.S. Sena-tor,
and Gary Westland, can-didate
for District 50-B.
On Sept. 21, Connie Hope,
sophomore, was elected pres-ident
of the club, and Barry
Ahlsten, freshman, was elec-ted
vice president. A secretary-treasurer
will be selected soon.
Art Lewis, professor in Bibli-cal
and theological studies,
will advise the College Re-publicans
this year.
The two-year-old organiza-tion
has one member as a
state officer, sophomore Sally
Clark. Clark was elected state
treasurer of the Minnesota
College Republicans.
will interpret the MMPI.
Kathy Mathias will interpret
the SCII.
The results of the MMPI
and the SCII return in about
three weeks. Students will be
notified through the Bethel
Bulletin.
Activities planned this year
include setting up a booth at
Bethel's Opportunity Fair, at-tending
the College Republi-can
convention, and coordi-nating
political discussions.
The main concern for this fall
is the campaigns. Hope plans
to have a support group work-ing
for Wheelock Whitney's
gubernatorial campaign.
Last year the group heard
Barry Goldwater, Gerald Ford,
and Ronald Reagan speak at
various convocations and
rallies.
"We would also like to co-sponsor
area candidate de-bates
with the College Demo-crats,"
said Hope.
Issue-oriented discussions
are held every other Tuesday
for College Republicans. The
discussions allow students to
wrestle with personal politi-cal
beliefs.
On Oct. 17 the club will be
part of an attempt to enter the
Guinness Book of World Rec-ords.
Republican candidates
will meet in downtown St.
Paul to gain publicity by try-ing
to break the hand-shaking
record.
College Republicans receive
no aid from Bethel, but spon-sor
several fund-raising
events to defray costs of send-ing
delegates to the state
convention.
by Janis Johnson
This year's College Demo-crats
hope to serve as a re-source
organization for Bethel
students, according to chair-man
Dave Pikal.
As the only member of Col-lege
Democrats from last year,
Pikal accepted leadership re-sponsibilities
until other stu-dents
become involved. John
Lawyer, political science pro-fessor,
is the group's main
advisor.
College Democrats want to
supply information about can-didates
and issues. They also
want to encourage voting.
According to Pikal, one of
their main goals is to get stu-dents
involved in some politi-cal
organization, though not
necessarily the Democratic
party. "College Democrats are
the other side of the coin,"
commented Pikal.
Students politically involv-ed
in their home districts can
become part of local cam-paigns
under the direction of
College Democrats. "Student
aid cutbacks is one issue for
which a reactionary group is
being formed," stated Pikal.
"This will give students a
chance to make a difference."
Plans for this year include
bringing candidates to meet
with students informally and
in classes. The College Demo-crats
hope to select students to
represent candidates as well.
Plans are also underway in
preparation for the caucuses
and November elections. The
Bethel group plans to integrate
its efforts with those of other
colleges.

Anderson gains insights in Nicaragua fficarryi
TN'
Tony Anderson found Nicaragua to be a country of contrasts, and is
not satisfied with the U.S. policy there. Velie/photo
by Jerry Manus
The controversial Central
American country of Nicara-gua
was visited this summer
by a group of twenty Ameri-cans,
one of them a Bethel
graduate.
Tony Anderson, who grad-uated
in May of this year, had
been intrigued by Nicaragua
since the July 1980 coup which
ousted the Somoza govern-ment.
Though Anderson had
been in favor of the revolu-tion,
he had since heard re-ports
by the American press
that the fledgling government
was heavily repressive and
militaristic. Because most of
those claims were later shown
to be false, Anderson decided
that he should see for himself
rather than depend on the
press.
Anderson said, "After hear-ing
the claims of the Reagan
administration, I was prepar-ed
to see tanks in the street
and machine-gun installations
on every corner. I found
neither."
What Anderson did find,
however, was a people in the
midst of a severe economic
struggle. Nicaragua had in-herited
from Somoza the
greatest per-capita national
debt in all of Latin America.
The situation was greatly in-tensified
as the result of recent
flooding, which left 70,000
people homeless, and destroy-ed
most of the country's crops
on which the economy de-pends
heavily.
Anderson said that one im-portant
change that has occur-red
since the revolution is the
legalization of labor unions,
which were outlawed under
Somoza. Now several unions
are active, including both
government and private
unions.
Anderson attended four dif-ferent
religious services while
in Nicaragua, and found that
the poorer churches he visited
tended to be more outwardly
supportive of the revolution
than the more wealthy ones.
The services of the poorer
people emphasized the need
for Christ's followers to work
for justice.
Anderson said he was sur-prised
to find that though the
poorer churches were more
politically progressive than
the wealthier churches, they
were very conservative and
orthodox theologically.
Another important change
reported by Anderson is the
cultural revolution. "Somoza
had suppressed anything that
would give expression and
life to the people," Anderson
said. Now there is a Ministry
of Culture, with the purpose
of restoring the people's native
cultural expressions, as well
as exposing them to the best
of culture from around the
world. The American visitors
attended a ballet at the na-tional
auditorium which was
performed by a Cuban team.
It was toward the end of
their stay, after having found
the claims of the Reagan ad-ministration
of repression in
Nicaragua to be groundless,
that the visitors went to the
American embassy and talked
with a P.R. official there. They
questioned him as to why the
U.S. government maintained
its position on grounds that
were obviously false. Ander-son
said the official tried to be
agreeable with them, but main-tained
that the Nicaraguan
government was shipping wea-pons
to Salvadoran guerillas,
though he could not release
the sources. The other main
point mentioned was that
power in Nicaragua was "still
only in the hands of a few,"
and that it was a Marxist-
Lenninist state. The Ameri-can
visitors were not satis-fied
with that explanation of
their country's policy.
The story of the Nicaraguan
revolution is unique from that
of most revolutions, in that
the death penalty was abol-ished
from the beginning.
There also appears to be in-creasing
power going to the
people themselves, with no
sign that a repressive dictator
will arise. But Anderson says
he cannot be optimistic con-cerning
the future of the
nation's economy, especially
considering that the U.S. has
made it virtually impossible
for Nicaragua to obtain inter-national
loans.
This paper advocates a design
that would take one step in
improving this situation:
by Donald N. Larson
Forgiveness. We've all experienced it. Our relatives and
friends have forgiven us. God has forgiven us. What wonder-ful
experience, having done something awful, to hear those
words, "That's O.K. I forgive you."
If it is true that 75% of the student body violates the BLST
(Bethel Lifestyle Statement) weekly, consider what happens
when, let us say, 50% of these ask forgiveness. What grace is
theirs! What joy comes to more than 800 students each week!
Complaining students should stop to consider what the
administration has done for them. They should be grateful for
BLST: it leads to the joy of forgiveness.
But it's a unilateral blessing! The administration has no
similar source of grace for themselves. It is deprived of the job
of forgiveness and will continue in this state of deprivation
until its own waywardness is brought into sharper focus.
It should be noted at this point that the BLST which the
administration has formulated for the students—call it Proto-
BLST—is easy for the administration to live by, and that is
precisely why it does not induce conditions for forgiveness. So
the administration needs a statement—Deutero-BLST—which
will get at some of the behaviors which do induce such
conditions.
This means, of course, that students are in the best position
to develop Deutero-BLST for the administration. They would
identify those behaviors of administrators which they find
reprehensible and formulate standards accordingly. Faced
with the Deutero-BLST, administrators would now be able to
find the grace and joy of forgiveness when the standards were
violated.
What would such standards be? I don't know—not being a
student here. However, in listening to students evaluate admin-istrative
behavior, I'm confident that the contents of Deutero-
BLST would be sufficient and sufficiently clear to generate
plenty of joy via forgiveness.
No doubt it would be as easy for students to live by the
Deutero-BLST and the administration by the Proto-BLST, and
this would provide a much more balanced situation that we
have at present. And it would have a distinctly Christian
component: one brother or sister being strong at the very point
that the other was weak.
I suggest that such a plan would be a significant step for-ward
and a fine way to start a new academic year. What would
be more appropriate as a way to symbolize a new regime?
